Join us now for 30 minutes of fun and great country music. I'm Eddie Stubbs. Now how about a Superlative welcome for our host, the famed Philadelphian. Here is Marty Stuart." Marty said, "It's all right, Eddie. Handsome......" Marty and The Fabulous Superlatives performed "Just As Long As You Call Me." 
Eddie Stubbs said, "Powerful lyric and a powerful delivery there from Marty Stuart. Thank you, sir." Eddie promoted Marty's book of photographs, Country Music: The Masters. After a commercial break, Marty said, "Welcome back. So glad you could join us. Now, I'm always proud to tell ya this show is sponsored by the good people in the great state of Mississippi. Mississippi is called the Birthplace of America's Music. And people come from all over the world to be part of the atmosphere in which the Magnolia State's music has been created. If you've never been, I'd like to invite you to come to Mississippi and share in the feeling of our music. Two music trails run throughout the state and will serve as your guide. The Blues Trail and the Country Music Trail with stop number one being the Father of Country Music, Jimmie Rodgers' marker in Meridian, Mississippi. Jimmie's marker is just one of well over 100 stops along the way. And we're nothin' close to bein' finished. Now stay tuned because a little later in this program's broadcast, I have some good news to tell ya concerning the Country Music Trail. Meanwhile, how 'bout a hand for our friends in Meridian, Mississippi, the town with the most Blues and Country Music Trail markers. Apostle?" Paul said, "Yes, sir." Marty continued, "Mr. Pride, speakin' of trails, here's a trail blazer from way back. The ole Sultan of Goodlettsville, the Tennessee Slicker, the most popular man in country music. How 'bout a hand for Leroy Troy, everybody. You know Connie, Apostle, Hank, Charley Pride."
Leroy: "Charley." 
After a commercial break, Eddie Stubbs promoted Compadres: An Anthology of Duets. Eddie said, "And now, with the Superlative of Sledge, we go back to the famed Philadelphian, of Mississippi, that is. Here is Marty Stuart." Marty said, "Thank you Mr. Stubbs. How 'bout a hand for Eddie Stubbs. Charley Pride, it is always an honor. I said you were truly one of my country music heroes and you are. You are." Charley said, "Thank you." Marty continued, "I wanna tell ya somethin'. You and I always talk about Mississippi when we get together and as I mentioned a few minutes ago, this show is sponsored by our home state of Mississippi. One lady in particular makes that possible, Miss Mary Beth Wilkerson and she was on her way to see us today, but the airplane got delayed in Jackson so I have to make the announcement for her. We were talkin' about the Country Music Trail runnin' through the state of Mississippi. The state of Mississippi is proud to announce that the next unveiling of the permanent marker a lot like that one of Mr. Jimmie Rodgers will be in beautiful, downtown Sledge, Mississippi, your home town. Mr. Charley Pride will have a beautiful marker. Congratulations, Mr. Pride." Charley said, "Thank you." Marty said, "Congratulations." Charley sang "I Know One."
